Which is better with only SOs, Fort or NW?
I'm sure both builds can be fun and effective with SOs.
But as long as you find them both fun, I guess the question I would ask is... how much would you miss permanent Mind Link? That seem to be the main thing that you cannot do with an SO build. If lack of defenses is an issue, then I'd say a Fortunata would be more effective since you don't need amazing defenses if you have good crowd control.
I want to know because I want to have a backup build in case my subscription lapses post-Freedom and my IOs stop working (yes, I know I have to pay to access the character while Premium, but it'd be a one-time fee and I'm okay with those). I'll use my Incarnate build and one of my normal builds for the IO'd Fort and NW builds I already have, and the other normal build for my oops-I'm-too-broke-to-pay-for-a-while SO build, so I can switch back to normal IO goodness when the money comes back. But since that leaves me with only one build to put SOs into, which progression should I go with? I'm leaning toward NW, but I'm never sure.
